ITR Filing for Proprietor (ITR-3 / ITR-4) – Overview
ITR-3 and ITR-4 are Income Tax Return forms applicable to
individuals carrying on business or profession as sole proprietors.
While ITR-3 is used by proprietors maintaining regular books of accounts,
ITR-4 applies to those opting for presumptive taxation
under Sections 44AD, 44ADA, or 44AE.
Accurate filing of ITR-3 or ITR-4 is crucial to ensure correct income reporting,
compliance with tax laws, and avoidance of notices or penalties. With expert
support, business owners can optimise deductions, comply with statutory
requirements, and file their returns smoothly and confidently.
